E-Scooter Safety: Issues and Solutions
Many communities with electric‐scooter (e‐scooter) programs have observed social, health, and
environmental benefits; enhanced multimodal connections; and positive economic impacts (such as
those derived by delivery services and couriers using e‐scooters and the resultant jobs created).
However, these effects are often accompanied by real and perceived safety challenges.
The TRB Behavioral Transportation Safety Cooperative Research Program's
BTSCRP Research Results Digest 1: E-Scooter Safety: Issues and Solutions
is an initial deliverable to a larger ongoing project, in the form of a literature review, that identifies emerging behavioral safety issues arising from the expanding use of e-scooters
and summarizes how cities are working to prevent and mitigate injuries.
